Challenges in Today’s Datacenter
SAN DAS
Infrastructure silos remain, even after initial wave of virtualization
Overprovisioning for performance
Complex data protection and disaster recovery
Difficulty scaling as applications grow
14
Resilience Intensive Performance
& High Scalability Hybrid Cloud Readiness
Infrastructure Demands
Increasing Microsoft Application Capabilities
§ Multi-hypervisor support
§ Elastic data fabric § REST APIs for
extensibility
§ High performance platform
§ Linear scalability
§ VM centric § Data locality § Data replication
across the cluster
High Availability • Increasing Virtualization • Unstructured Data in DB • Increased Mailbox Size
Cloud Ready
Microsoft Applications are Evolving

Xtreme Computing Platform: Web-Scale Design
ü Storage IO is serviced by local SSDs
ü Storage & Compute together
Software-defined approach
17
What’s In • Software-based
• Smart software, commodity HW • Scale one x86 server at a time • Highly distributed, but local storage • Heavily automated
What’s Out • Vanity hardware • Islands of storage • Unused, overprovisioned resources • North-south network traffic • Low productivity tasks
Built on the Benefits of Web-Scale
18
Deliver Predictable Performance, Economics and Growth
